The Right Way and Right Time to Ask for Higher Pay

In most cases, the longer you work in a company the more you realize you deserve a higher pay. But to ask for it is not as easy as one would think; it can be awkward and risky. So how can you show your boss you deserve it? Is your loyalty enough to get a nod?

Just because you need it doesn’t mean you’re worth it. Take time to self-reflect and ask yourself these questions:

• “Is this the right time to ask?” • “How long have I been in this company?” • “When was the last time I got a raise?” • “How did my being here help the company?” • “Have I gone beyond their expectations or have I simply met them?” • “How will I respond if I’m told ’No’?”

Your “greater” needs should not be the reason you ask for a raise. Rather, it should be because you’re worth it. If you’re not happy with your job, a higher pay may not be the answer.
